I tweeted my opinion – it’s marked up by 5,000 Rupees, and then there’s the import duty and shipping charges (which are outrageous, IMO). It’s easier for someone to buy it for you in the US and simply carry the unboxed product over.
It is not marked that much i think. pls include the $37 of california tax. so, actually $529+$37 is the base cost.
oh is it thts interesting … so tht sums up for the mark up ..i am definitely going to buy one from this site
seemed an interesting bargain to me.. its a bangalore based site it seems.. same city, so i would prefer ordering here than getting an unboxed phone after spending over 30,000 bucks..
Cool phone though.. really looking forward to receiving mine end of month
I think this L better choice
i will surely not wait , gonna buy Nexus one from 20north.com
i already ordered mine here.. was pretty smooth.

@Aditya – Does the Android Market app on the Nexus One work properly, given that you’re accessing it from India? In other words, are you able to access to Android Market app from the phone or does it not work because you’re accessing it from India?
Thanks.
No it doesn’t,but if u want to use any other provider like t-mobile(USA) or (au) u can route ur settings to that using market enabler app.
Yeah i think u will be able to use it with wifi.
I am using it with wifi and i am able to download the appliations with wifi.But i use it from USA and i am not sure about the access from india but most probably its gonna possible.
hi friend let me know wen u got this phone?
@aditya: which service provider are you using the phone with? is it possible to use with vodafone?
One Question i have is , will the Nexus One work with BSNL 3G. I am getting confused with a lot of posts online regarding the same. Any opinions
I saw the posting of nexus one in 20north.com but it says STANDARD SHIPPING 21-30 DAYS omg almost 1month …is this true , i have never ordered anything online so please tell me is it safe to order from that site or you suggest me to wait …and me desperate to get the phone !
ya it does take 20 days but i read smwhere tht the company delivers it in 12-14 days in some case..bt then if i hav to get a nexus one before anyone else i wont mind 20 days.Google has no plans to launch it in the near future..
rather be a fast follower than an early early adopter, as steve blank says…
I dont know if HTC has a major brand value abroad, but in india i dont think it has really taken off well. Like the above comment, i think i will wait until some good reviews come in and also till the supply-demand finally gets the price revised.
Btw, answering customer queries only thru email ? Should google learn something here ?
Will Android Market be accessible from India using the Nexus One? Or will there be issues with regard to location again? No use if you can’t use the phone to download apps. Might as well wait then as inaccessibility of the Android Market would seriously limit the use of the phone to great extent, and hence a deal breaker.
Apparently, there was a similar problem with HTC’s earlier model – HTC Magic.
Anybody, have any clue?
Thanks.
I have an unlocked G1 (the first andriod phone). I can download/look for only free apps. Paid apps are not available for download on the unlocked G1. Not sure if this is the same for Nexus since Google is selling the unlocked version also.
[...] to pluggd.in, the Nexus One will cost you around RS. 33,241 in Indian currency, which comes out around 675 US [...]
Will Nexus One work in India/ BSNL 3G if I would get it from US.
nexus one wont work with bsnl 3G because US 3G is in 1900mhz band while indian european 3G uses 2100 mhz band. so US nexus will not work in India on 3 G
@aseg: Please do your home work before mis-reporting anything and misguiding other people.
The nexus one WILL work in India.
The Nexus One’s antenna supports four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900) and three 3G bands – 1, 4, and 8 which are 2100/AWS/900 respectively.
BSNL and MTNL have been allocated spectrum and currently running the 3G service in the range of 2100MHz-2110MHz downlink. The 3G spectrum auctions for the private telecom service providers in India will finally be conducted in Feb’10. Let me quote from the India 3G auction guidelines doc- “The bidders can bid for one block of 2 * 5MHz each for 3G telecom services in the 2.1 GHz band (2110MHz-2170MHz for downlink and 1920MHz-1980MHz for uplink) in a telecom service area”. Basically the overall 3G spectrum range available in India is between 2100MHz-2170MHz downlink.The 2100 MHz or 2.1GHz band IS supported by the Nexus One and so will work on the BSNL/MTNL network as well as on the networks of the private telecom companies who win the auctioned slots in the 3G spectrum.
Of course, for now, the performance of BSNL/MTNL 3G service is another matter altogether.
Siddharth,
Thanks for the above information. I read somewhere as the uplinking 1920MHz-1980MHz would not be available on Nexus one, the speed would top up at Edge.
I am not sure how true that is. Have you heard on anyone using Nexus on BSNL 3G in India ?
yes i agree to siddharth.

As per most of reviews n sales figures from US looks like Nexus has lost big battle to iPhone n other phones
The review about the nexus are somehow getting bad results.
I got one nexus last wednesday and i am very much satisfied with the performance when compared with the iphones.
Most importantly it has got a 1 GHz processor, then 3.7 inch screen and then AMOLED display then 5 MP camera.
The one thing i thought bad about the nexus one was the music quality before i got the nexus one.But once i got that ..it was superb in all the way .
Super sound nice earphones and its simply perfect.
One thing thats missing from this phone as everyone says is the multitouch which is supposed to be in european versions.
And since in US there is some patent problems with the apple its still disabled in the US version
But in few months time the developers will crack the code and we will get one update or firmware that will support the multitouch.
But the browser that can be downloaded that is the dolphon browser supports multitouc…
This is really a superb phone and way better than iphone features.
But still people supports the iphone(may be only the iphne users) for nothing .Dont know whats the reason behind that …
Hi Rahul…Thanks for the gr8 review man. I too am gonna order the Nexus One from US. Just one question; are you able to access the Android Market from it i.e obviouly over Edge or GPRS (3G obviously is gonna take some time

Why 35K for a used phone? And why are you selling?
Hey i was used to a phone with keypad and i am not comfertable with touch screen.
And Dear why you are saying used phone. i just use it for 1 day and rest is history. it is back in packet in which i got.
and if one want it in 1-2 day one can pay to me otherwise no issue at all.
otherwise order it online and you will get it in 15 day and price also same.
also remember you will not get it sealed pack as custom check it many time before delivering to you.
By The way if you want one you can follow these steps.
Can i access google market place from google nexus in India.

Hi,
I own a Nexus One which I plan to sell next month to get the Xperia X10. I bought the phone last month and it has no scratches and is in brand new condition. I’m willing to sell it for Rs 19000 or make me an offer. If anyone is interested please reply to this and I will get an email notification. I will sell it to the first person who comes with cold hard cash and will give the phone personally. I will be in Chennai next month, and i’m not interested in online trasfer/shipping stuff. If you want it, come and get it at Chennai.
Cheers!

Hi Jeshurun,

As somebody has asked,Nexus is working quite brillantly with Vodafone Mobile connect.
I have it for almost 2 months now(and i have used many smartphones),u should know it was never touted as iphone killer(its more of a marketing strategy by Apple & Steve).The thing is that Android helps as it is an OPEN OS.
U can fully use Android market,i am currently using HTC desire rom on top of it.
The handsets such as Nexus,N900,iphone 3G S,Moto Droid are real smartphones,dont simply buy them for showing off.
Another thing as someone above has mentioned buying SE Xperia10,i dont think it’s a good move,it comes with 1.6version whereas Nexus comes with 2.1 and many many apps/games in Android market requires 2.1 and yes no need to mention which One will first receive all the latest updates(Android is Google OS &Nexus is Google’s brainchild)so while in Xperia u wait for 1.7,1.8 then 2.1 u alreay would have more updates in Nexus One.
These r my views,i again repeat,dont buy it just to show off,i resides in Pune.
Hi, I just got Google nexus from USA. It is at&t compatible one as i read that its frequencies match in India. In India now, i am not able to access the phone since there is no network even after putting a vodafone sim. Do i have to activate my phone? if yes, how? What networks does it support in India? How did you get it to work with vodafone?
If anyone has an idea, please email me on above address or call me at 9821193549
Neal,
Not sure why you are not able to use it, may be its coz of you bought it via AT&T. I’m using Nexus with Vodafone..
Also you can try selecting the available networks manually on phone and try to select vodafone as your home network…
hey all, em staying in bangalore,. I just bot nexus one for 34k., but em not able to connect 2 the internet…..wen i called up airtel, they tol me tat, its not yet launched in india, so not possible…..help…..
Hello Nidhin,
Any luck so far? I was thinking of buying one from ebay but then your post helped me hold back.
Hello Dude,
If you like it just go for it
.. dont worry about the internet on phone… you should be able to use it..dont believe the provider guys as the dont know much…
Once you connected to the internet phone will automatically download the latest firmware and it will enable the multitouch feature on your phone…
You should be able to use internet on your Nexus One. If Airtel guys says so, i would say thats the height of stupidity
I’m using internet on my Nexus one Phone with vodafone for the past 3 months, infact i’ve downloaded many apps from Android market
Ask airtel guys to let u know th settings for coonting to internet
GPRS/EDGE whatever it is
Once you have the settings from Airtel , Manually enter the settings on phone
Settings –wireless & Networks–Mobile networks–Access point names—you can create or edit the existing accoriding to the airtel WAP settings privided to you.
-Arun
Also you must login to your gmail account for using the Android market , calender etc…
Anyone selling a Nexus One in India (in and around Delhi)??? Phone should be in flawless condition!!! Mail me on chander.11@gmail.com with your contact details.
Regards,
Chander
To All,
If you are using Vodafone with Nexus one here is the settings for accessing internet. You should have mobile Connect enabled on your number (Any Plan will do)
Settings –– wireless & Networks––Mobile networks––Access point names
Press the Menu Button on Bottom console (button between Back & Home)
type a name for access point(Can be vodafone)— set the APN name as www and save settings and restart your phone.

guys i am planning to buy nexus one thru webstore. My friend is in USA. He will book it for me. During booking it asks for two options like
Nexus One Phone
Buy the phone without service and insert your own SIM card. Includes a Nexus One phone case, wall charger, and USB cable. Free shipping in the continental US.
Compatible with 3G on T-Mobile (U.S.)
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (900/AWS/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and these wireless providers in Canada.
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Which phone will work best with my mobile service provider and why?
Which one shud i choose??? I am using Vodafone chennai sim card…plz help me soon…
should choose the first option “Buy the phone without service and insert your own SIM card. Includes a Nexus One phone case, wall charger, and USB cable. Free shipping in the continental US.”
Thanks a lot dude…will choose the first option Compatible with 3G on T-Mobile (U.S.)
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (900/AWS/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
Hey Dude…
I just ordered mine like you. I too researched a lot about which one 2 choose and finally found that the AT&T model is better coz it includes the 1900 3G band. Now why is that important? Both T Mobile and AT&T include the 2100 MHz 3G band which would work in India when 3G launches in October but this band would only be used for downlink (i.e. downloading). For uplink (uploading) the 3G band for India is 1900 MHz which is available in AT&T model only. So if u get the T Mobile version it will upload data using EDGE or 2G speeds only…So If ur friends hasnn’t yet placed the order tel him to order the AT&T version…
oh is it…i am goin to book next week oly…thanks a lot for sharing the info…ill go for at&t option…
Hi Chander & Vinodh
Are your phones ordered from USA with AT&T Nexus one options work in India properly i.e. able to download/upload using 3G speed ?
Plz advise
- Ashit
Hi Ashit…
As 3G services are not yet launched in India(except BSNL and MTNL – I use Airtel), Nexus one wont at present download/upload using the 3G Speeds…It only downloads/uploads using 2G-EDGE speeds. As per my research (read google forums) i found out that the AT&T version is best suited for India and will work properly once 3G launches fullflegedly in India…
dude i ordered my mob d my frd got it…i am waitin fr him to send it to me…ill get it in june mid oly…
Hi,
I have been using bsnl 3g service for the last two months.I’M getting a download speed of 160_180kBps .after updating to froyo I’m able to tether with my laptop and still I’m getting that speed.dont know whether its a problem with bsnl that I’m able to downloadaround 4gb for the data r charge of 275 which is actually for.5GB
Hey Dude…
